Word History: Ditto originally comes from the Latin word dictus, having been said, the past participle of the verb dÄ«cere, to say.. In Italian dÄ«cere became dire and dictus became detto, or in the Tuscan dialect ditto. Italian detto or ditto meant what said does in legal English, as in said property.. Thus the word could be used in certain constructions to mean the same as what has been said; for example, having given the date December 22, one could use 26 detto or ditto for 26 December.
